The THCGME Program Eligible
Resident/FTE Chart published in the THCGME Funding Opportunity
Announcements (FOAs) is a means for determining the number of
eligible residents/FTEs in an applicant's primary care residency
program. The chart requires applicants to provide data related to
the size and/or growth of the residency program over previous
academic years, the number of residents enrolled in the program
during the baseline academic year, and a projection of the
program's proposed expansion over the next four academic years. It
is imperative that applicants complete this chart and provide
evidence of a planned expansion, as per the statute, THCGME funding
may only be used to support an expanded number of residents in a
residency program. Utilization of a chart to gather this important
information has decreased the number of errors in the eligibility
review process resulting in more accurate review and funding
process. The respondents are applicants for the THCGME
program.
